The Storm

There is that moment that you know the storm is coming You can see it in the eye's of people you know Feel it brew in everything around you The storm is in the air It comes with only one objective The objective to destroy To take what was and change it for ever more Sometimes completely whipping out what once existed Trying to save some things you start to prepare Removing any place that it could get in Moving valuables to safe places where they are out of reach Also taking shelter waiting for impact After some time the storm passes You leave what you thought was a safe place to see that everything is gone The storm has done what it came to do Then moves on and starts all over again You are left with nothing but a shadow of what you once had Rebuilding is the only move But nothing will be as strong as it was before the storm No matter what you create you will never feel at home Left to wonder the days away Thinking back to the days before the storm Wondering if you could have saved anything To wish that the storm never was It comes with only one objective The objective to bring on change
